DS/EN 29 646-5:1992 Information technology - Open Systems Interconnection - Conformance testing methodology and framework - Part 5: Requirements on test laboratories and clients for the conformance assessment process
This part of ISO/IEC 9646 specifies requirements on both the test laboratory and the client, for the conduct of the con-formance assessment process. The requirements are those necessary to achieve comparability of results of tests on sim-ilar implementations performed by different test laboratories. This part of ISO/IEC 9646 also provides some guidance on the conformance assessment process.
The requirements include
a) requirements for the testability of the implementation with respect to ATMs;
b) general requirements on the test laboratory and the client applicable to any conformance testing process;
c) exchange of technical and administrative information, including a System Conformance Statement (SCS), a Pro-tocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) for each relevant OSI protocol standard, and Protocol Imple-mentation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) for each Abstract Test Suite (ATS) to be used for testing;
d) cooperation between the test laboratory and the client to reach an agreement on the definition of the Implemen-tation Under Test (IUT), on the ATMs and ATSs to be used and on the conditions under which testing will be performed;
e) requirements for the structure and content of the con-formance test reports that document the results of confor-mance assessment.
This part of ISO/IEC 9646 is applicable equally to those test laboratories which are affiliated to suppliers or procurers, and those which are independent.
This part of ISO/IEC 9646 is applicable to conformance as-sessment of implementations of OSI and ISDN two-party pro-tocol standards that comply with the relevant requirements for testability in ISO/IEC 9646-2, based on conformance testing standards specified in compliance with ISO/IEC 9646-2, and using Means of Testing (MOT) in compliance with ISO/IEC 9646-4.
The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 9646:
a) the production of diagnostic trace information, addi-tional to that in the conformance log, for the results of testing performed by the test laboratory, and its supply to the client;
b) aspects of test laboratory operations which are not specific to testing implementations of OSI protocols;
c) accreditation of test laboratories;
d) certification of implementations of OSI protocols.
